A 19-year-old kid, who's accused of stabbing his girlfriend's father to death in his home in Las Vegas, is claiming that his girlfriend is the one who asked him to kill her father - she apparently told her boyfriend that her father had been abusive towards her.

Jose Martinez is charged with murder, conspiracy and burglary in the death of 45-year-old Jaime Guzman. The father was found dead inside his home on Monday.

The police report says that Jose Martinez admitted to jumping on top of his girlfriend's father while he was sleeping, and then stabbed him about 30 times with a pocket knife. The father, while being stabbed, vehemently denied he was abusive towards his daughter according to Martinez.
